In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published
in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and
anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the
growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the
lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a
society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream,
gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive
statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but
whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants
to understand America.
